Read the following passage carefully and answer the guestions given below:-
The development and widespread use of computer technology and the internet have
transformed how we communicate, how business is conducted, how information is dispersed,
and how society is organised. Prior to 1980, in-depth information about anv one subject matter
was attained through laborious research involving countless visits to librar. .i and via repeated
interviews with persons of known reputation and reputable expertise. Now, a great deal of
information is available at the click of a mouse button, all attainable from within the confines of
one's own home or from the use of a computer in an office. Previous labour-intensive support
Jobs. such as loading and unpacking of trucks', luggage handling at airports, and food
manufacturing, once performed by a large middle-class workforce, are now performed routinely
by robots which are monitored by computer-controlled systems. Our lives have been simplified
but these benefits which have been ushered in by the technology revolution have had an
adverse effect on the core of our interpersonal-relationships. Mere communication is no longer
via postal mail or face-to-face contact, but rather via electronic email, personal internet message
boards and by virtue of hand-held personal electronic assistants. Although computer technology
has brought us to within a mouse-click of any sought-after piece of information, this technology
boom has sequestered us to the confines' of our computer desks and homes and has removed
us away from those traditional settings where personal and communication skills are developed.
